HOLY Crap!!

I have given much thought to the baptism of my first baby even before I was pregnant. I knew I wanted my child to attend Parochial school as I did. So when Maddie was born, I knew that I wanted to give her a similar upbringing to what I had with regards to faith. DJ was not practicing, and had no real direction growing up. Whereas I had direction, but didn't always necessarily agree with the beliefs of the Catholic religion. I have always had a relationship with God, just don't think you HAVE to attend Church to have a relationship with him, don't agree with how judgemental many people who are outrightly religious are. BUT, I want to give Maddie some starting point to which she can develop her own beliefs and Faith. I just don't trust myself to teach her properly if it is left all up to me. (I will never forget the Christmas that my young nephew asked me Who Jesus was, to which my reply was "uhhh, Go ask your Mom!" )

Anyhow, So yesterday morning I was feeding Maddie and decided to check out if Sat. morning cartoons were as good as they were when I was a kid (back when you couldn't get cartoons on TV 24/7). So, I happen to come across Catholic Network Television, and there is a somewhat cute cartoon on. A bit boring, and a lot cheesy. So I watch the end of the cartoon, and next comes a show for a bit older children, like 6 or 7. I am walking into the kitchen thinking, that is cool, I will have Maddie watch these when she is older.. well as I am walking into the Kitchen, I hear the adult in the show say Abortion, you know when the Mommy kills the baby in her womb... I was like Holy Crap! My daughter will NOT be watching this crap... Holy or not! Being away from the Catholic Church for a while made me forget how strict they are, and that Catholic guilt thing!! I had a friend who made the observation that all of the people she knows that have given up on religion were Catholic. I had never thought about that before, but I can see why that would be the case.

Well, enough about that, on to the fun stuff. This weekend people came over to watch the Michigan/Mich State Game. GO BLUE. Maddie enjoyed herself cause she had lots of attention. Her schedule is all out of wack, and I can't even begin to go about fixing it... Infact, she just went down for bed minutes ago- which is technially without Daylight Savings 10:25. UGH.
She is so crabby without proper sleep.

She has been eating cereal regularly, and today I added Advocado... since she had done 4 days without any problems on the cereal. It was so funny to watch her eat the advocado. she actually made a pretty funny face. Soon though she was sucking on the spoon. She didn't eat a lot, she has been pretty fussy today. I think she did not get enough sleep last night. So she hasn't exactly been herself today. She took pretty good naps, so hopefully that will help.

On the WORK FRONT, I talked to my Boss on Thursday and told him that there is no way I will be able to travel. I said that I realize that is a major part of my job, and since I cannot fulfill my job duties, that I realize I would have to be replaced. He agreed, that I would have to make a decision to be replaced if I could not travel. SOOO, that was a huge weight off my chest. He is also looking at a possible switch of accounts for me if someone who does not have to travel would be interested... I don't think anyone would, and on top of that, I don't think I would take it as the other option is No travel, but a lot of overtime. I have done retail ads before, that always equals late nights, and unplanned late nights. So, that isn't THAT much different that traveling. Plus I would have to switch offices which would make my commute go from 15 minutes to 35 or more. So, at this point, we are going to talk later next week, and I am not really sure what next steps will be, or when I will actually be done working, but I do know the first time I have to travel is mid december, so I assume at that point, it would be around then sometime.

ok, well I am off to watch TV with the Hubby.
